identify7Gee guys, I do not want to be painted as a person with anti-diversity feelings. However, in my opinion, there should be a balance between wanting the best representatives which the sport has to offer, and accepting citizens from other countries as the majority of the members in our National Pastime.
Although I don't want to be considered a hater of foreignors, I wish that they were citizens of this country, participating in this sport; rather than mercenaries who will sign with any team, anywhere, that bids the highest.
I guess my romantic feelings about US baseball are no longer appropriate nor relevant to our current situation. Old timers often lament, and resist change. I have to get over that, I guess, before I become an old timer.
Edited to add: My point was always a citizenry thing. At no time did I state that I objected to any specific group, other than non-citizens of the USA.
